The official national opening was organised at the Hall of Fame of Split Sport in Split, with a former Croatian high jumper, a two-time world champion and double Olympic medallist, Blanka Vlašić and the President of the Croatian Museum Association (HMD), Vlasta Krklec, declaring the event open.
Organised by the HMD, the event featured around a thousand activities, including exhibitions, workshops, lectures, screenings, and musical programmes, all of which visitors could attend free of charge.
Krklec recently said that this year's theme aimed to enhance the visibility of museums, galleries, and other heritage institutions while showcasing everything that happens behind the scenes.
Museum Night was launched in 2005 in Zagreb with just five museums, and to date, it has been visited by 4.2 million people.
